Jeremy Stephens targets his next fight inside of the Octagon despite just fighting recently.

The MMA Veteran suffered a unanimous decision loss to Zabit Magomedsharipov at the UFC 235 pay-per-view event. This show went down on Saturday, March 2, 2019 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

As a result, Stephens has lost two straight after going on a three-fight winning streak. Prior to UFC 235, he dropped first round TKO loss to former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo back in July.

This comes after scoring some of the biggest wins in his pro-MMA career. He decisioned Gilbert Melendez at UFC 215 then finished Doo Ho Choi in January 2018 and Josh Emmett the following month. Now, he’s in search of his first victory in over a year.

Thus, Stephens took to his Instagram account to make a case for competing on the UFC 238 card. This show goes down on June 8, 2019 at United Center in Chicago, Illinois. He wrote the following:

“I would like to ask [UFC President Dana White and Sean Shelby] for a quick return in June for Chicago with a game opponent who wants to fight, so I can get back to winning ways! I’m blessed to walk out of the fight happy, healthy, and in great spirit! I’ll be back in the gym after this week and ready to return with something big! Thanks for all the love and support it means the world to me! God bless everyone, and at the end of the day numbers don’t lie people love tuning in to watch human highlight reel knockout artist – Jeremy Stephens.”

First off I want to say thanks to my wife, kids and family, coaches, teammates, friends, and fans! I will continue to live as a champion inside and outside of the octagon and surround myself with championship likewise personals. There is no doubt in my mind that I always show up, I bust my ass inside and outside the octagon and bring in my world class A Game and championship mindset. I feel sometimes I suffer these set backs because God knows I’m that type of person who will learn and comeback stronger and do something bigger, greater than myself, and find strength in the struggle. I hold my head high like a champion knowing what my limitless capabilities are. I would like to ask @ufc @danawhite @seanshelby for a quick return in June for Chicago with a game opponent who wants to fight, so I can get back to winning ways! I’m blessed to walk out of the fight happy, healthy, and in great spirit! I’ll be back in the gym after this week and ready to return with something big! Thanks for all the love and support it means the world to me! God bless everyone, and at the end of the day numbers don’t lie people love tuning in to watch human highlight reel knockout artist-Jeremy Stephens??

The UFC has released the UFC 235 Fight Motion video to their official YouTube channel that shows highlights from the headliner.

This is where the UFC light heavyweight champion was able to secure a unanimous decision win over the title contender in a dominant performance that showcased his skills. Although he didn’t get the finish, he lived up to the betting odds placed prior to the two fighters stepping into the Octagon to slug it out.

In the co-headliner, Kamaru Usman captured the UFC welterweight title once he scored a dominant unanimous win over Tyron Woodley. We’ve never seen Woodley this manhandled before in a championship bout.

This show went down on Saturday, March 2, 2019 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Watch the highlights in super slow motion in the UFC 234: Fight Motion video below:

With Brock Lesnar Fight Going To DC, Javier Mendez Puzzled By Stipe Miocic’s Inactivity

Daniel Cormier’s coach Javier Mendez believes Stipe Miocic should forget about a rematch and take a fight with another heavyweight already. “Stipe’s waiting and I don’t know why he’s waiting,” Mendez said in a recent interview with BJPENN Radio. “I think he should fight like everybody else does. When you get starched like he did, […]

Daniel Cormier’s coach Javier Mendez believes Stipe Miocic should forget about a rematch and take a fight with another heavyweight already.

“Stipe’s waiting and I don’t know why he’s waiting,” Mendez said in a recent interview with BJPENN Radio. “I think he should fight like everybody else does. When you get starched like he did, most people, they don’t wait for a rematch. They fight somebody else and get back on the wagon. What happened to Cain with dos Santos? Cain didn’t wait for a rematch. He went out there and beat up whoever they asked him to beat up and he got back to the title shot. That’s what you should be doing instead of saying, ‘I’m waiting.’ Unless it was a fight-fight, but things happen. People want to see entertaining fights and if you have a wipe-out then people don’t necessarily want to see a rematch.”

It’s not that Mendez doesn’t think Miocic deserves a title fight, he just believes that “DC” has built up enough fight equity with the UFC to justify the Brock Lesnar fight.

“I want it to be Brock and then he should be done, that’s what I want,” Mendez said. “I’ve always wanted that. Every time you guys ask me I want him to fight Brock Lesnar, make the biggest payday that he deserves and then retire like he wants to. All his coaches want that for him, we don’t want him to fight past Brock. Brock is not on the table yet, but hopefully, if we keep pushing for it maybe it’ll happen. I don’t know.”

A Cormier vs Lesnar fight would surely do big business. Anytime the WWE fans tune in the rating boost. In one way or another, that fight has been teased for the last year and a half. However, it appears it has never been closer as UFC President Dana White recently stated as much at the post-fight presser.

“The Brock fight is Cormier’s. When Cormier’s healthy, that’s his fight. And plus Brock has WWE obligations right now, or believe me he’d be calling me.”
